It’s All About Confidence

System on Chip Verification and Building Trust into Neural Networks

How do we know that what our neural networks are telling us should be trusted? Can we build confidence into our neural networks so they can answer that for us? According to a new study out of MIT and Harvard, we can and it won’t break the computational bank! In this week’s Fish Fry podcast, we first check out a new way for deep learning neural networks to quickly estimate confidence levels in their output. Keeping with our verification theme, Moshik Rubin (Cadence Design Systems) also joins us to discuss the challenges of SoC verification, the increasing need for system level solutions today, and where he thinks chip level verification is headed in the future.

Bluetooth Channel Sounding
In this episode of Chalk Talk, Joel Kauppo from Nordic Semiconductor and Amelia Dalton explore the principles behind Bluetooth channel sounding, the differences between different channel sounding device types, and how Nordic Semiconductor’s high-performance, ultra-low-power Bluetooth SoC with integrated multi-purpose MCU and nRF Connect SDK v3.0.1 can get your next Bluetooth channel sounding design up and running in no time!
